Fantastic capture, Sandy. I love these birds. We photographed a mother with her babies in GNP. Like the flowers too. #6788034

Oh my stars Sandy...this is just as perfect as perfect can get. I have seen these in the winter and they are snow white and blend in with the snow. I hope someday to capture them either spring or winter...THIS IS A WINNER! #6789004
